Statement Regarding Local Voters’ Pamphlet

Tillamook County does not have a local voters’ pamphlet for the current election. A local pamphlet has not been produced in prior years and was not budgeted or staffed for this election cycle.

Producing a voters’ pamphlet requires dedicated staff, secure publication processes, legally established timelines, and the adoption of an official fee schedule through administrative rules. These requirements are significant, and the Elections Office did not have the staffing or budget authority to implement them for the current year.

The Clerk’s Office is evaluating the feasibility of offering a local voters’ pamphlet in a future budget cycle, but it is not available for this election.

Voters may continue to reference the Oregon Secretary of State’s Voters’ Pamphlet, which is mailed statewide for federal and statewide contests and is available online at sos.oregon.gov/voting.

For further questions, please contact the Tillamook County Clerk’s Office at clerk@tillamookcounty.gov or (503) 842-3402.
